Hi there

In order to win this you need to do the following


1. Design OcUK a landing page using Adobe/Macromedia software suites.
2. The Design will still need to have all layers easily accessible so minor edits can be easier made to the design afterwards.
3. The page needs to be no wider than 1000 pixels but can be as tall as one wishes.
4. The page will need to link to two of our best selling the systems, the Xenomorph and Predator.
5. The Theme needs to be Alien VS Predator (but anything similar nature will do) feature that clearly features the PCs.
6. For example ideally we would like to see the Xenomorph system on one side with an alien (xenomorph) crouched on top of the system looking to pounce onto the Predator System. The Predator system should ideal have a Predator next to it with it targeting the Xenomorph system with its laser gun pinpointed on the Xenomorph system, am sure you getting the idea here, but this is just an idea, feel free to come up with your own themes/ideas. :)
7. The systems must feature a lot of official Intel, NVIDIA and ATI Logos, this is important for us as a company, plus our own OcUK logo.
8. Remember the landing page needs to have the specification of the PC's and Sell price clearly visible with a BUY BUTTON, again layed so it can easily be altered at a later date.


The systems on this landing page are these two:-

aliev versus predator theme came to mind straight away, since that's what a xenomorph is... or was that dead space... no that was a necromorph...


i'll give it a shot in my pre-adobe version of Fireworks.
cheers.
 
lol - is there where all of the graphics people come out and sprout how they need to be paid 30k to draw a picture :p

Don't like the prize? Don't enter! Simple!
 
wouldn't calling something xenomorph be some sort of copyright infringement?

Not the word as it has other meanings, but I would have thought that the images of an alien and predator would have some kind of issue. I'd imagine it's OK taking the theme of a franchise to advertise with, but to take the actual characters and imagery must surely cross a line?
 
I'm also concerned about copyright before I start using images of the alien and predator. Hopefully ocuk have okay'd it all with the right people?

You can use such images, if their is any copyright issues we can deal with those.

But ideally as a graphics designer you should be using your own design of xenomorph and predator. ;)
 
Paying peanuts? Expect monkeys. :p

Its a 3hr job for a seasoned pro, something I could outsource for circa £100 or even get a friend to do as a favour. :)

But we feel we'd do a competition instead and remember OcUK is looking to employ a graphics designer as well.
